Can lens filters and hoods be fitted to this camera, please?

I find everything I need on the Sony website. They will respond to questions.

Your welcome. If you own the camera now I would keep it because it is a great "point and shoot" as it is intended to be.

Check your lens manual for filter size. Doesn't that lens come with a lens hood?

Yes. In fact, you need that adapter ring in order to use filters. The hood screws onto the outside with a quarter-turn bayonet fitting.

I haven't purchased any, but I am sure you can use filter kits with this camera.

Dear Patricia, you will not be able to fit any screw-in filters to this lens. This is because the front element is curved and it is protected by the built-in petal-shaped hood. Although this hood appears to have a screw thread it is actually just a series of circles (presumably to disperse any stray light that hits it). The only thing you can do to protect it is to always use the the push-on lens cap supplied when the lens is not being used. Best wishes, Simon (yatescameras.com)

The lens end does not have threads to accommodate installation of the filters so I sent back. I don't understand the responses saying the filters fit: they don't.

No unfortunately you can not add any kind of lens or filter. The 1015 lens and lens housing are not threaded for adapters, lenses or filters.

Not really... if you look really close at the "threads" they are just a few parallel ridges. Yes, you can fit a filter, but "just". And I'd recommend buying an Ultra Thin UV filter, like the one sold by Zomei. It's very thin and fits snug enough (I had trouble fitting others securely). The only problem is an ultra thin doesn't grip the lens cap all that well. Make sure you leave the string keeper on the cap so you don't lose it. We also have a P530 and that cannot fit a filter at all.

What you should probably look for is 37mm threaded lenses that have a 37mm thread inside of them so you can put the filter on the camera and then the lens on the filter...

The filters screw over your existing lens. If your camera has 58mm lens, make sure you ordered the kit that fits 58mm.

This hood is for a specific Nikon lens. It's not a screw-in hood and has no threads. It won't fit a lens it wasn't designed for. The hood has spring-loaded tabs that match a groove on the lens rim. The hood slips over and slightly behind the front of the lens. The tabs snap into the groove and hold fast. The lens's existing threads are unencumbered and filters may be installed or removed as needed. In any case, you shouldn't place any filters on a hood. Filters should be placed as close to a lens's front element as feasible to minimize any internal reflections and optical artifacts.

Sorry. Make have spoken too soon. Looks like you can fit it with filter without lens cap.

Yes, any filters with 52mm diameter should be fine, but lens hoods will give you black spots on certain focal lengths.

Yes, as well as any 52mm filter.It may not fit if you have a lens hood installed

Check the Canon web site it is very specific about which lens and hood go together

I find no threads for filters on the fixed lens. You might be able to put filters on it that have an outside rim offset like the lens cover, but keeping them from falling off would be difficult even if you could find such an arrangement. Nowadays most filter colors and/or effects can be added by photoshop or its equivalents, so they aren't worth the bother most of the time. There are exceptions, but for most picture taking those are not really applicable.

Yes, you can use your lens cap and hood. The filter has threads to grip the lens cap or you can even stack an additional filter. Keep in mind that you will need to remove the filter to compose and focus. You can't see anything at all through the filter. It is very dark.
